The hit at first is fine, but when he has his legs pressed up against the boards, petterasson has no control of his weight and then with the puck nowhere near (watch the goalies eyes tracking the puck, its on the other side of the ice) he slams him down
The 2nd part is complete garbage and should be a suspension, its not a hockey play at that point

This is exactly it. Matheson didn't like getting embarrassed by Pettersson and was clearly frustrated by that. I get if Matheson wants to just lay a big hit to send a message that he will have to pay the price, but the slam down is just garbage.
